iCCaRE Consortium Pilot Project 1: Feasibility of a Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis Intervention for Newly Diagnosed Black Men

January 15, 2026 updated by: Mayo Clinic
This study is being done to determine the acceptance and effectiveness of a virtual robot assistant model at a urology clinic.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Plan and develop a PPCD iCCaRE ViRA model that will provide social determinants of health (SDOH) navigation services, psycho-oncology support and emotional support using qualitative formative research.

II: Establish the acceptance and usability of the iCCaRE ViRA among 50 African American/Black men (AA/BM) at local Jacksonville sites.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study. Participants are assigned to 1 of 4 cohorts.

COHORT I: Consumer advocates attend a focus group on study.

COHORT II: Clinicians complete interviews on study.

COHORT III: CaP survivors test the virtual health intervention, complete a survey, and attend a focus group on study.

COHORT IV: Patients complete surveys and participate in the virtual health intervention on study. Patients complete survey and an interview during follow up.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Usability of the iCCaRE ViRA
Time Frame: Baseline; follow-up interview 3-4 months post visit
Will be assessed by patient immediate reaction and patient delayed feedback.
Baseline; follow-up interview 3-4 months post visit
Point of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (PPCD) iCCaRE Virtual Reality Assistant (ViRA) model
Time Frame: Up to 4 months
Will be assessed by the length of time needed to create the model. PPCD iCCaRE ViRA model development will be guided by the Translational Research & Clinical Intervention Services (TRaCIS) and Digital Health & Human Services (DHHS) core sections of the Inclusive Cancer Care Research Equity (iCCaRE) Consortium. The consortium's scientific team and Community Advisory Board (CAB) will participate in making decisions about how to proceed with the development of the ViRA Intervention and Communication Strategy Plan (ICoSP). This application (app) will be evaluated in Outcomes 2 and 3. The PPCD iCCaRE ViRA app will provide social determinants of health (SDOH) navigation services, psycho-oncology support and emotional support using qualitative formative research.
Up to 4 months
Acceptance of the iCCaRE ViRA
Time Frame: Baseline; follow-up interview 3-4 months post visit
Will be assessed by patient immediate reaction and patient delayed feedback.
Baseline; follow-up interview 3-4 months post visit
